So yeah I love the minibot because it was a great vehicle to promote our team, make new friends, and possibly make sure a team makes it past their 1st or 2nd year.
I wish this entire post could be stickied with a spotlight and I hope those who spent their valuable time designing this anniversary game have the opportunity to read your post - and smile.

Wow.
